Conference in Houston, Texas on April 29, 2015.

Former
Florida governor and potential Republican presidential candidate Jeb
Bush stated that Christians in America and abroad should have protection
to act upon their beliefs.

In a speech at a major Hispanic
evangelical gathering, the former Florida governor shared his thoughts
on religious liberty and other issues."There is no more powerful
or liberating influence on this earth than the Christian conscience in
action and today in America it is important to respect and to protect
Christians acting on their faith," said Bush."Not just talking
about their faith, but there is a constitutional right and more
importantly for a loving society Christians need to have the space to be
able to act on their conscience."

Samuel Rodriguez, president of NHCLC, told The Christian Post in an earlier interview that the "Latino electorate will play a crucial role in the outcome of the 2016 election.""Understanding
issues such as education, religious liberty, immigration, life and
limited government are important to Latino voters," said Rodriguez."We
invited a number of political leaders across both the Republican and
Democratic party to join us and address these issues for our
constituency."Last December, Bush announced that he was going to
form an exploratory committee to see if he will be entering the
Republican Primary."The son of former President George H.W. Bush
and brother of George W. Bush is a favorite of the Republican
establishment but has many challenges," reported Politico."While
he may be able to raise more money than anyone else in the field, he is
vulnerable to attacks from conservatives over his strong support for
the Common Core education guidelines, comprehensive immigration reform
and other issues."U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and U.S. Senator
Rand Paul of Kentucky have announced their bids for the GOP nomination.
